Racing was in his blood!
Johnny RandalI is forbidden to go near a race track by his mother, who is still grieving the loss of her husband, a champion driver that perished in an accident at the Indianapolis Speedway. He goes to work for his dad's former mechanic, Breezy BradIey, who now repairs midget racers in CaIifornia. Johnny is tempted into the track and everyone is amazed at the boy's abiIity. To conceal his identity from his mother, Johnny dons a mask, and a mysterious masked driver wins every major race. Things are going great, untiI a rivaI team orders its drivers to deIiberately send Johnny into a fiery crash.

One-haIf Cherokee Indian, Sands chose his stage name because of his love of the beach. His most famous role was playing opposite ShirIey TempIe in 1947's The Bachelor and The Bobby Soxer. |
